Lawmakers return to Charleston for interim committee meetings

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — State lawmakers have 30 separate meetings scheduled over four days this week at the state capitol.

The bulk of the meetings in the December ‘interims” will take place on Monday and Tuesday. The House of Delegates also have noon floor sessions scheduled for those days in connection with a special session that did not wrap up in the House last month.

Monday’s meetings will focus on natural gas development, the current status of the state budget and career readiness in schools.

State Transportation Secretary Byrd White is scheduled to give an update on the Pritchard Heartland Gateway Intermodal facility in Wayne County at a Tuesday morning meeting. The Post-Audits committee meets on Tuesday along with the Committee on Flooding.

The legislature’s Rule-Making Review Committee has all-day meetings scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.

The 60-day regular legislative session begins Jan. 8.
